Chapter 142 Separate Actions Nan Qi wore a golden outfit that was blinding...
Conrad Green, the current director of the Imperial Institute, was suddenly summoned by Hoover Walker and his nerves were stretched to the limit.
Hoover Walker had been dissatisfied with the Imperial Research Institute for a long time, and the recent loss of a pair of experimental subjects made Hoover Walker's dissatisfaction with the Imperial Research Institute reach its peak.
If he hadn't been quick-witted and gotten a year's "reprieve", they would all have been secretly executed by the Insect King Hoover Walker last time.
Ever since that time, the Insect King seemed to have forgotten them. He no longer asked them to report on the progress of their experiments every three days as before, nor did he ask them for the purified Promote02 potion. It was as if he had exiled the research institute.
This attitude made many senior executives of the research institute tremble with fear, fearing that the next summons from the Insect King would be their doom.
They became even more unreasonable, squeezing the test subjects to draw blood, and purifying undetectable unknown substances from their blood, hoping that during this year of probation, they would be able to thoroughly study this substance through the freshest "raw materials" and be able to synthesize it.
Conrad Green was truly astonished by the higher-ups' actions. Since the discovery of this unknown substance, they'd been researching it without making any progress.
Because they discovered that this unknown substance was not static. It fluctuated with the state of 001, and its effects on the experimental subjects were also different.
Of course, this is also related to the physical fitness of the experimental subject itself.
Therefore, the old director Church Gale named this substance - Substance X, which means unknown and infinite possibilities.
Ever since No. 001 disappeared, they have lost their source of fresh Substance X.
This is also the fundamental reason why their experiments have failed in recent years.
For the experiment to succeed, two conditions were necessary. First, the subject's condition had to be suitable. They had observed this many times but had yet to discover a pattern. Second, a large amount of fresh Substance X was needed to stimulate the reaction.
With No. 001 missing, they lost their source of fresh Substance X. The activity of the stored Substance X deteriorated, and it could no longer suppress the toxins produced in the body of the experimental subject during the final transformation. They could only use it to mix with the Promote02 agent.
Therefore, in the research institute, all the potions that contain substance X are from stock, including the purified promote02 potion that needs to be presented to the Insect King every six months.
They had also tried to extract Substance X from successful experimental subjects. They did extract it, but the amount was too small, almost non-existent, not even as much as the amount in the drugs they injected into the experimental subjects every week.
Later, he figured it out: if the test subjects could synthesize Substance X on their own, they probably wouldn't need weekly injections of Promote02. It was unbelievable that he had only just figured out such a simple problem.
Later he gave up on administering Substance X to his test subjects.
I didn’t expect that today...
Conrad sneered. He didn't expect that these idiots had not given up yet. They didn't try to make achievements in other fields so that the Insect King would not be able to give them up. They also didn't look for materials similar to the lost experimental materials. They just thought of crooked tricks to try to gain something.
Being a colleague of this kind of bug made Conrad feel that it was an insult to his intelligence every moment.
He had wanted to hold a general meeting today to stop this stupid practice. If two more mature experimental subjects died, the Insect King might not even give them the last chance. However, he suddenly received a summons from the Insect King.
If the Insect King had not told him that he had a task to assign to him, he would have thought that the Insect King already knew what the idiots had done and was going to bring him to justice.
Conrad Green took a deep breath, composed himself, hurriedly gave his assistant a few words, and drove the aircraft towards the palace.
He had to go see the Insect King as soon as possible. Anything that could cause the Insect King to summon him urgently must be related to the research institute, and might be their only hope of survival.

Nan Qi was wearing a set of golden clothes that were so dazzling that they blinded the eyes. He wore three rings on each hand. The gems on the rings were large and pure, and it was obvious that they were worth a lot of money.
Her medium-length hair was pinned up with ornaments made of expensive black crystal and amethyst, and she also wore a natural pearl necklace.
There are ocean planets in the Trojan galaxy, but naturally formed pearls are still very precious.
There are a total of 108 beads on Nan Qi's neck. Each one is round and full, with almost no error between the beads. They even have a faint blue hue under natural light. Even an insect who doesn't know much about jewelry can tell that they are priceless.
After finishing his outfit, Nan Qi excitedly sent Bai a holographic video message. After Bai answered, he turned around proudly and asked, "Bai, how do you like this outfit? Does it have the temperament of a tasteless little bug?"
Bai: "...Do you want to change into another set?"
"Ah? Not good?" Nan Qi was stunned, tilting his head to look at Bai, "Is there something missing? How about I wear a few more headdresses on my head?"
When saying this, Nan Qi's mouth corners slightly curved, and his dazzlingly beautiful facial features softened a lot, making him look even more handsome.
Nan Qi himself has a gorgeous appearance, and his usual simple clothing and sunny and calm temperament neutralize the strong sense of beauty in him.
Today's luxurious attire completely revealed another side of Nan Qi. He was like a bunch of tightly packed flowers, not at all gaudy, but rather bold, bright, passionate and unrestrained, and had nothing to do with the success of a small insect.
Looking at Nan Qi rummaging through the jewelry box, having a hard time choosing, Bai pursed his lips and said against his will: "Just, let's do this."
"Eh? Is it okay?" Nan Qi was puzzled. Bai Mingming didn't seem very satisfied just now.
Bai closed his eyes and spoke again, his words flowing smoothly: "It's fine, but I've never seen you wearing such bright clothes before, so I'm a little uncomfortable. By the way, it's snowing outside today, don't forget to wear a thick coat. I'll try to go back early tonight."
"Okay, I'll wait for you~" Nan Qi smiled and narrowed his eyes, "You go and get busy, I also have to go to a date."
"Well, see you tonight." Bai reminded, "You hang up now, remember not to suffer any loss."
"Don't worry." Nan Qi waved his hand, "Goodbye then."
After saying that, he blew another kiss to Bai, then hung up the phone, picked up the coat Bai bought for him and went out.
Bai put down the Star Brain and reached for the document, only to see Melon looking at him with a gossipy expression and a smile like a rat that had stolen oil.
Bai paused as he went to grab the document: "What's wrong with you?"
Mellon came up with a smile: "Bai, so this is how you and Nan Qi get along privately."
Bai: "...Are you too idle? Isn't your work enough to keep you busy? Do you want me to add some?"
"Don't be so boring. Tell me, who is Nan Qi going out to meet? And why is he dressed so...sexily." Melon uttered two words carefully.
Bai: "...You are the flirtatious one, can you speak?"
"Hahaha, I'm flirty, I'm flirty. But, Bai, does Nan Qi have any misunderstandings about his appearance and temperament? And I found that Nan Qi hardly dresses up." Mellon grinned. He was not afraid of Bai at this time. Bai's ears began to turn red. Now it was obvious that he was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
Bai Ben didn't want to pay attention to Mellon, but after hearing what Mellon said, he was silent for a while and nodded.
Nan Qi did have a misunderstanding about his appearance and temperament. He was completely different from the male insects in the empire.
The male insects in the empire are very concerned about their appearance, even the F male insects, but most of the F male insects do not have the financial resources to dress themselves up.
After Arnold and Carter had enough money, they would often buy clothes and accessories, dressing themselves up in a way that was not too flashy, but clean and pleasing to the eye.
In contrast, Nan Qi rarely buys clothes or accessories for himself. In all the time he has been in the Center Star, the only time he bought clothes for himself was when he first arrived at the center, and that was because he didn't bring enough clothes.
The clothes she bought were mainly for convenience and comfort. If Nan Qi wasn't good-looking and had a good figure, those clothes would be, if not a disaster, definitely mediocre.
That's why he would buy jewelry and custom-made clothes for Nan Qi whenever he had the chance. However, Nan Qi didn't like to go out, so he never saw Nan Qi wear many of the clothes after they were delivered to him.
Thinking of this, Bai felt a little jealous of seeing Nanqi's Jodie Collet with his own eyes in a while.
After all, Nan Qi dressed up carefully to meet him.
"Bai, Bai, what are you thinking about? You are so engrossed and haven't answered me yet. Who is Nan Qi going to see?" Melon stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Bai's eyes.
Bai was brought back to his senses by Mellon. He drank some water to suppress the sour taste in his heart before speaking, "It's Jody Collet. He heard that I was going to the war and was worried that Nan Qi would be bored, so he came here specially to accompany Nan Qi."
"Oh, that's quite thoughtful." Mellon said sarcastically, "So what's Nan Qi's plan?"
Bai did not answer. The military was full of bugs and had many "ears", so it was better to be careful.
Seeing Bai didn't answer, Mellon knew they had other unspoken thoughts, so he didn't ask any further questions and changed the subject, saying, "Things are almost done here. Let's go to the training camp. The expedition is imminent, and as the head coach, you need to go and boost morale."
"Well, I'll leave after I finish these two documents..." Bai said, his hands moving non-stop.
Mellon sighed upon seeing this and whispered, "If only Admiral Milne were still here, we wouldn't have to worry about anything."
Bai's hand paused as he signed, and his lowered eyes showed an obscure expression. However, he quickly adjusted himself, signed the last two documents swiftly, and then called a female soldier in to hand over all the documents to Lieutenant General Jerry Daly.
After he went to war, all military affairs were temporarily handed over to Lieutenant General Jerry Daly.
If Jerry Daly has something he doesn't understand, he can go to Prince Keppel's Palace to ask Marshal Ayou Percy.
But Jerry Daly probably wouldn't go. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to expand his influence within the military, so there was no way he would let anyone else interfere.
In fact, the military also has General Milne Garcia. Previously, when Bai went on the expedition, all these things were handed over to General Milne. However, General Milne's mental power has begun to riot recently, and he is in great pain every day. He is no longer suitable for leading the military.
I heard that Admiral Milne will go to a nursing home in a few days to spend his last days.
"Let's go see Admiral Milne first, and then go to the training camp." After explaining everything, Bai stood up, took his coat and put it on, and Mellon immediately followed.
The snow was still falling outside. In the dim sky, large balls of cotton-like snowflakes floated down from the sky, quickly dyeing the hair of the passing female soldiers white.
Bai strode forward, a plan gradually taking shape in his mind.
On the other side, Nan Qi arrived at Donne Shopping Center half an hour later than the scheduled time.
After parking the aircraft in the parking lot, Nan Qi took the elevator to the Kite Café on the top floor of the shopping mall.
